The city has reduced the safety perimeter around the crack of doom at McGill after emergency work this weekend; the original engineer from 1965 says the plans were good and the fault lies with shoddy maintenance and inspection; another engineer says we're just seeing the beginning of trouble from failing 1960 and 1970-era concrete structures; a glance at several buildings adjoining McGill station that could be endangered if the subsidence worsened; who will pay the bill for the emergency inspection and repairs?

In later news, three quarters of the immediate repairs are said to be completed but the mayor's unable to say yet whether the green line will be running normally tomorrow.
